What is the availability of BYD spare parts and servicing in the UK?

Because BYD is expanding rapidly across the UK, its dealer footprint (operated through major groups like Lookers, Pendragon, and Arnold Clark) is growing fast. However, supply chain lag remains a talking point.

• Parts Lead Times: While routine servicing items are easily accessible, if the car requires specialized structural body panels, custom glass, or specific drivetrain sensors following an accident, parts occasionally must be shipped directly from China. This has led to reports of prolonged wait times at approved repair centres compared to legacy European brands.
• The Silver Lining: To offset reliability anxieties, BYD includes a robust 6-year/93,750-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and an 8-year/125,000-mile battery warranty as standard on all UK models.

Some third party websites like TOPBYD are selling OEM parts for BYD
